REPRESENTASI KOLONIALISME MODERN DALAM FILM DOKUMENTER PESTA BABI: ANALISIS WACANA KRITIS NORMAN FAIRCLOUGH

Abstrak

This study aims to analyze the construction of modern colonialism discourse represented in the documentary using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis. Employing a qualitative approach, the study examines three dimensions: text, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice. Data were collected from the documentary’s narrative, visual representations, film synopsis, and supporting references related to the film’s production and distribution. The findings indicate that the documentary constructs a discourse of modern colonialism through the use of terms such as colonialism, customary land, living space, land grabbing, and food security, which represent power relations between the state, corporations, and Indigenous communities. The documentary also employs the metaphor of Pesta Babi as both a cultural symbol and a critique of resource exploitation. In terms of discursive practice, the documentary is produced through investigative methods and distributed through public screenings and digital platforms, creating broader public discussions about Papua. At the sociocultural level, the documentary portrays colonialism as a contemporary form of domination operating through development policies, land control, and the transformation of Indigenous living spaces. The study demonstrates that documentary films serve as both representational media and discursive practices that encourage critical reflection on development and social justice
